Family-to-Family

A FREE 8-week education program specifically for family members, significant others and friends of people who live with a mental health condition.

Research shows that the 8-week NAMI Family-to-Family education program significantly improves the coping and problem-solving abilities of the people closest to an individual living with a mental health condition.  It is taught by trained family members who have been there, and includes presentations, discussions, and interactive exercises.  It not only provides critical information and strategies for taking care of the person you love, but you’ll also find out that you’re not alone.  Recovery is a journey, and there is hope.
